ActsAsList¶ ↑

This acts_as extension provides the capabilities for sorting and reordering a number of objects in a list. The class that has this specified needs to have a position column defined as an integer on the mapped database table.

This plugin derived from David Heinemeier Hansson acts_as_list but has been refactored to make it less obtrusive and more “Ruby on Rails 2.1+”-y.

Example¶ ↑

class TodoList < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :todo_items, :order => "position"
end

class TodoItem < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :todo_list
  acts_as_list :scope => :todo_list
end

todo_list.first.move_to_bottom
todo_list.last.move_higher
